Asiatic lion Shiva, the mother of the three cubs, looks out over her domain as their cubs play in the Besancon zoo, eastern France, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014. The Besancon zoo held off announcing the Dec. 31 2013 births until this week, afraid the two females and a male might not survive. There are about 300 Asiatic lions in the wild, all in an Indian reserve, and according to the WWF they are one of the world's rarest species.
